A word of explanation as to the spelling of Brazilian geographical names may not be out of place. It seemed preferable to give the exact Portuguese form rather than the Spanish form; hence such words as _rio_ and _bahia,_ which are accented in Spanish, are given without the accent in Brazilian place names. For the most effective use of this book, pictures, maps, and objects, in addition to the illustrations of the book, will be found helpful. The _Bulletin of the Pan American Union_ is invaluable as a means of securing interest in the Latin American countries. Particularly adapted to use by a class are the pamphlets descriptive of the various South and Central American countries, likewise published by the Pan American Union. A few South American pictures are to be obtained from the Perry Pictures Company, Malden, Massachusetts; post cards may be had from the Universal Post Card Company, 115 North Street, New York City; other sources, such as geographies, histories, books and magazines of travel, and advertisements, will readily suggest themselves. This opportunity is taken of thanking Mr. John Barrett and Mr. Francisco J. Yanes, Director and Assistant Director, respectively, of the Pan American Union, for permission to use the material of the Union. For the use of many photographs, also, thanks are due to the Pan American Union.
